Slightly felonious...

Hi, I'm a 38 year old felonious female who's very interested in acquiring a CDL, but I don't qualify for grants, and would like to just enroll with a trucking company that offers free schooling. But the problem is, my felony (menacing) is only a little over a year old, and I haven't worked in a long time. Are there any trucking companies out there that don't care about my felony or lack of work history, who will provide training and all the things? I have a clean driving record, no DUI or anything like that, but my criminal record is horrendous. I'm a bit of an angry person, so I have a ton of misdemeanors and that one felony, but surely there's a trucking company that won't care??? I'm very smart, good at everything I try, I won't care about a contract, and I'll probably become very valuable if given a chance. I know how the industry works, as my dad drove for 30 years, hauling me along often. Any ideas??

 

It's a tough,really tough business for angry people.

 

Where is your location; state and nearest city/town.

 

Wrong buisness for somebody with arrest records involving anger management issues, nothing personal but there is 13 things a day that will make you want to hit somebody.

 

No, its not going to work for you. Certain felonies have to be at least 5 to 7 years old. Trucking is the most regulated industry out there. Its just not gonna happen for you.

 

My driver's license is out of Colorado, but my physical address is in Gulf Shores Alabama.

 

Thats right, if she has anger issues then trucking isnt gonna work.

 

Well the question is what is the felony? Some companies will take into consideration. Some are just straight up disqualifiers. Anger issues....mmmmm that will be tested daily. Other drivers, shippers and receivers, deadlines, the list goes on and on. You have a bunch of misdemeanors that you mentioned too. None of these companies have time to send you home every time you use poor judgment. You may have to stay out if trouble for some years. I wont say its impossible, but it's going to be tough
